Billy Slater is leaving a representative legacy like few before him. When the fullback runs out for his 31st Origin at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday, July 11, it will be the last time that fans will be able to witness the legend's talents in the Origin arena.

Slater will captain his state for his final match due to former skipper Greg Inglis being ruled out of game three with a broken thumb.

Arguably the greatest fullback of all-time was thrilled, but also disappointed with the announcement because he knows he won't be able to call GI his teammate one last time.

"It's a huge honour to captain Queensland, there's only been 13 men that have had the opportunity and I feel very privileged," Slater said on 100% Footy.
